So Kavenaugh agreed with Garland 93% of the time, but is that really distressing? The court hears a lot of mundane cases that result in unanimous decisions, so without knowing what those 7% are it's a meaningless statistic.

During the 2016-2017 Supreme Court session Thomas agreed with Ginsburg 60% of the time. Meaningless.

93% number of Appellate Judges' agreement rate is not that significant so you are correct since they are bound by Supreme Court precedent (Unless they want to be slapped down by the SC and sent to the corner wearing a dunce cap).

40% difference for one calendar year is pretty divisive between two members of a body in charge of “Judicial review” though. In fact, that is not only dangerous, but embarrassing as hell (Although dead for over a century or close to two) for those who defended Article III.
